UI Texture 9 slice (#11600)
> Follow up to #10588 
> Closes #11749 (Supersedes #11756)

Enable Texture slicing for the following UI nodes:
- `ImageBundle`
- `ButtonBundle`

I also added a collection of `fantazy-ui-borders` from
[Kenney's](www.kenney.nl) assets, with the appropriate license (CC).
If it's a problem I can use the same textures as the `sprite_slice`
example

# Work done

Added the `ImageScaleMode` component to the targetted bundles, most of
the logic is directly reused from `bevy_sprite`.
The only additional internal component is the UI specific
`ComputedSlices`, which does the same thing as its spritee equivalent
but adapted to UI code.

Again the slicing is not compatible with `TextureAtlas`, it's something
I need to tackle more deeply in the future

# Fixes

* [x] I noticed that `TextureSlicer::compute_slices` could infinitely
loop if the border was larger that the image half extents, now an error
is triggered and the texture will fallback to being stretched
* [x] I noticed that when using small textures with very small *tiling*
options we could generate hundred of thousands of slices. Now I set a
minimum size of 1 pixel per slice, which is already ridiculously small,
and a warning will be sent at runtime when slice count goes above 1000
* [x] Sprite slicing with `flip_x` or `flip_y` would give incorrect
results, correct flipping is now supported to both sprites and ui image
nodes thanks to @odecay observation

# GPU Alternative

I create a separate branch attempting to implementing 9 slicing and
tiling directly through the `ui.wgsl` fragment shader. It works but
requires sending more data to the GPU:
- slice border
- tiling factors

And more importantly, the actual quad *scale* which is hard to put in
the shader with the current code, so that would be for a later iteration
